Wallis Bird – Home

A beautiful Irish voice comes through a stark background, the warm accent brushes the listeners ears, encouraging familiarity. Be still and listen, the voice of Wallis Bird will take her time. She will let you in, soon, but not yet.
The record builds itself up like a river making its way to the ocean, other waters adding to the growing rhythms. Watch it grow, organic in parts and aided in others, continuing to flow, making its own path.
Branching off into deeper darker rhythms, playing, leading, unmapped but not lost, led by something inside the music, some instinct that does not reveal its connections between steps.
Bird’s music is not hindered by the need for predictability, it is fresh, new and mysterious. It is also too short to properly take in, the listener will want to go back and to imbibe the mystery. (SP)
